2nd influence

Salk’s second influence was that he became part of a team trying to find a cure. If you are on a team you have more encouragement, are able to bounce ideas off of each other, talk to someone to see if your ideas are any good, and ask for help.
He worked with a team of friends and later he worked as a team with his son. With a team of friends, he had lots of different people’s opinions to think that were not always like his own. Some of his friends were probably teachers and others colleagues. When he worked with his son, he was more of a teacher then a colleague.
Most likely he did most of the work on his own since he received all of the credit for the cure for this disease.
